Question for anime/manga fans

As you know, I'm a huge fan of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I wanted to buy the manga but reviews say that it's not all that good, that it's missing Kyon's POV - which is what made the anime hilarious! And now I've stumbled across some info that the Haruhi Suzumiya novels should come out soon in the US - but I can't find anything more, no dates or links to the books. What I did find was "The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya" by Nagaru Tanigawa but that should be the sequel to the anime, not its novelization. And now I'm confused. Does anybody know anything more?

ETA: Aha! Some digging did it! Amazon lists vol. 1 of the novel as vol. 1 of the manga! No wonder I couldn't find it. Sheesh!

Sonny Whitelaw and Elizabeth Christensen's "The Chosen", #57

This SGA tie-in novel is set after The Storm and leads nicely into The Defiant One. It reminded me a lot of Trinity - Rodney's arrogance reared its ugly head once more but this time, it didn't lead "just" to the destruction of an uninhabited solar system, it caused the downfall of a whole civilization. The thing is, I could see both sides of the argument, Rodney and Teyla's - they were both right and wrong, both operating on limited information. Rodney's behavior fit well his season 1 self when all his concerns were more about him than about others, when he was still learning how to care. And a healthy dose of hurt Sheppard didn't hurt either, of course.
